				<link>http://www.artspacecharter.org/apps/news/article/2223088</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.artspacecharter.org/apps/news/article/2223088</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Our K–8 art students at ArtSpace Charter School are excited to grow our ceramics program, but our limited budget makes purchasing equipment a challenge. We are raising funds to bring six pottery wheels into our art classroom!
Having pottery wheels would allow our students to explore clay in new ways while developing creativity, problem-solving, patience, craftsmanship, and confidence through hands-on learning.

Every donation brings us one step closer to putting a wheel in our students’ hands! If you can contribute, please consider supporting our GoFundMe campaign. Donations of professional pottery wheels are also warmly welcomed.
Thank you for supporting arts education at ArtSpace Charter School!]]></description>
